The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for Playa Mojon over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the first chunk of the forecast is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell from Wednesday the 29th of July right through until the 7th of August. The surf is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 0.7 ft, with short-period swell that just doesn’t have the grunt to get anything meaningful going. The wind is mixed, some glassy mornings, but the energy is just not there. It’s a real stretch of flat and ordinary conditions. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least a dip in the ocean is comfortable.

Now, things start to look a little more interesting around the 8th of August. On Saturday the 8th, we see a bit of a pulse. The morning has a 1 ft S swell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy of all swells directed here bumps up to 109 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a cross-off from the NW at 9 mph, keeping things reasonably clean. By the afternoon, the swell bumps to 2 ft, energy climbs to 137, and the wind drops to 6 mph. It’s not huge, but it’s the best we’ve seen. Because this is a reef break, that long-period groundswell (16 seconds) will wrap in nicely here, offering better shape and longer waits between sets. The break is fairly consistent, but with crowds marked as “often,” you can expect some company out there. The optimum swell direction is SSW, and this S swell is a decent match.

Sunday the 9th holds onto 1 ft with a 14-second period, and the wind stays light and offshore in the afternoon from the NNW. The energy drops back to 64, but it’s still surfable and clean.

Beyond that, the second week stays marginal. The 11th and 12th of August show some 1 ft swell with long periods (18-19 seconds) and offshore winds, giving us clean, rideable waves, but nothing to get overly excited about. The energy sits around 70-94, which is still weak.

The standout period here is clearly Saturday the 8th of August into Sunday the 9th. That’s your best window. It’s not a classic, but the combination of a modest bump in swell, clean offshore winds, and the reef setup at Playa Mojon should give you a few fun ones. Keep your expectations in check, and you’ll be stoked.

Rusty.

Information about the Playa Mojon Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Playa Mojon provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Playa Mojon can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Playa Mojon surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Playa Mojon) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Playa Mojon may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

Playa Mojon is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Panama. If you plan a holiday in Gulf of Panama, look for hotels and other accommodation in Panama. Panama has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
